Command and Control Structures for Space and Information Operations in a Joint Command

This research develops two products for aiding a Joint Force Commander (JFC) tasked with developing command and control (C2) structures for space and information operation (IO) capabilities within a joint force. The first product is a decision matrix based upon two ideas essential to command and control. The first idea is that knowing the level of desired effect, that is, a strategic, operational, or tactical effect produced by space or IO functions is critical to the C2 structure. The second idea is that the JFC must determine which is more important, the integration of functional capabilities into a single mission oriented team or the preservation of functional identities due to high demand/low density resources, the need to preserve critical functional expertise, or other related reasons which drive functional organizations.
